I had tried dance class and I realized weeks after I had given it up that my shoes were the culprit. Exact same symptoms you are describing. It's still is a challenge to take the class, but nowhere like it had been with those sneakers.
2) Yoga was horrible for me as I have spinal issues and a cyst in my hip that were being inflamed by the weight bearing poses (warrior, back extension poses, etc.) I went to a muscular skeleton Dr who ordered various tests and I now know yoga is not for me and I also know what to avoid.
My neurologist told me it is ok if exercise triggers symptoms as long as it doesn't extend to the next day. I don't know if it applies to the general population or if it was just in my case but I've read similar things on this forum.

While I have trouble walking I have places on my feet that are pain free for the most part. I use that part to ride my bike. I get in a couple of miles up and down hill at dawn when no one is about. It's the only time I get to be in some kind of natural setting now. For someone who spent his life fishing and hiking it's weird to say the least. But for now....
